To implement email verification, you can follow these steps: 1. Collect the user's email during registration. 2. Generate a unique verification token. 3. Send an email with a verification link containing the token. 4. Create a route to handle the verification link and update the user's status.

What technologies can I use to send the verification email?

You can use services like SendGrid, Mailgun, or Amazon SES to send verification emails. They provide APIs that make it easy to integrate.

How do I generate a unique verification token?

You can use libraries like UUID in Node.js or built-in functions in your programming language to generate a unique token. Make sure it's random and hard to guess.
